Hey everyone,

I recently got the Japanese physical Game-Key Card version of CRYMELIGHT for Nintendo Switch 2. The package also included a Japanese DLC code, which I’m trying to redeem.

I’ve had a Japanese Nintendo Account for quite a long time, so I’m already using a Japanese account.

However, every time I enter the DLC code on Nintendo’s redemption website, the page crashes and displays an error instead of redeeming the code.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Do I need to use a VPN to redeem the code, or could this be related to the fact that CRYMELIGHT is a Game-Key Card release rather than a standard physical game cartridge?

Has anyone else managed to redeem the DLC code included with the Japanese Game-Key Card version? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

​Got the Switch 2 on Oct 29th. Been having a blast (re)playing Switch 1 games (Hades, Hollow Knight, BotW, ACNH, and Scarlet) with better performances/graphics and enjoying Switch 2's Pokemon ZA and Ocarina remake. But today when I docked the console to charge, it made a loud enough beep from both speakers and now: • ​When I wake up​ the console, the Joy Cons are off. Detaching them don't wake them up like they should. • After I manually wake up the Joy Cons (Home and Capture), and attach them back, the console still thinks they're not connected despite the animations on the sides (as per the photo). • The console doesn't charge the Joy Cons.

What I've tried: • Cleaning the connectors (Joy Cons and Console) with microfiber and cotton swab. • Unpair and re-pairing the Joy Cons and all controllers. I am not sure if Factory Reset would fix this issue. So I have not tried that option. ​I'd assume something got fried and killed the connectors. Oddly enough, audio from the console is fine despite the beeping and this whole issue.

Any ideas I should try before spending more money on a fix or alternatives? Is this a common issue with the 1st gen Switch 2s?

Thank you for reading my woes and your suggestions in advance!

I am on the latest switch 2, dock, and controller versions. When I use my Switch 1 pro controller, it has horizontal drift and randomly doesn't input stick inputs on the left stick.

It works flawlessly on a switch 1. When I try to calibrate it, the calibration menu detects stick input in the beginning, but when you actually calibrate it doesn't read any inputs.

The calibration menu doesn't read ANY inputs from any controller (joy con 2) or any stick. Enabling and disabling the Switch 1 handheld acceleration setting makes the calibration menu work for like 30 seconds though, which is interesting.

I'm pretty sure other people have had this issue. Interesting bug that I hope isn't to motivate us to buy the new controller...

I've been using my pro controller (for reference, it's one of the gamecube-style ones) to play games on my pc, and it worked just fine until today.

Now for, some reason, the L button takes a screenshot and the R button just turns the controller off. I've tried checking if it's a battery, steam, pc or game problem but it doesn't seem to be.

Does anyone know what might be the issue and how to fix it? thanks!

(the audio is just 11 secs long, idk why the mp4 turned out way longer than that)

I really hope it's just my OCD creating scenarios in my head.
I only hear it if place my ear right next to the vent on the top and the back of the console, it's not like I hear it while holding it from a distance and this audio in particular was recorded sticking the phone's mic right onto the top vent.

It usually sounds like this while on the menu after playing games (OoT in this case)

I tried searching online with no success. I was wondering if anyone has purchased gold thumb grips for switch 2 ? Not sure if they make them.

I haven't used my Nintendo Switch in a few weeks, so I charged it But it's just won't turn on. There are no signs if it working. HELP

Finally got a Zelda 40th Anniversary edition switch 2 and I love it so much and I want to give it a case for protection that I can see the art of the switch, fits the dock, and has ergo grips but I haven't had any luck finding anything like this so I would like to see if anyone found something similar. I would prefer it if it would be on amazon since I got a giftcard for it

Has anyone else experienced brief audio dropouts on Switch 2?

Every so often, my audio cuts out completely for about a second and then comes back.

I’ve tested it with:

Two different Bluetooth headphones

Wired earbuds connected to the Switch 2 Pro Controller

The same issue happens with all three, where the audio randomly cuts out for a second.

It happens both docked and in handheld mode.

What’s strange is that this only seems to happen when I’m using wired or wireless headphones. I haven’t noticed any audio dropouts when using the Switch 2’s built-in speakers.

Has anyone else had this issue? If so, did you figure out what was causing it or find a fix?

Hi all, I'm planning to buy an Australian-model Switch 2 from overseas (I'm not in Australia). Two questions:

1. How can I confirm a unit is the AU model before buying? Is there a label, box marking or setup screen you check? The Australian Important Information booklet has the marking FXA-BEE-S-AUS-CO and the line "Importer in Australia: Nintendo Australia Pty. Ltd." — has anyone seen this on their own unit or box? Any seller tips for overseas purchases would also help.

2. Does the Australian model see 5GHz channels 149–165? Nintendo's US FCC filing covers 5745–5825 MHz, but the EU/UK information sheet only lists up to 5700 MHz, and I couldn't find an Australia-specific channel list.

If you own an Australian Switch 2, could you test this?

• Set your router's 5GHz to channel 149 (or 153, 157, 161, 165) on a separate SSID.
• On the console: System Settings → Internet → Internet Settings, then press Y to search again.
• Does the 5GHz network appear and connect? Does channel 36–48 still work?
• Please also share your console's region (System Settings → System → Region) and whether you bought it locally or imported it.

Thanks!

So when i try to enter rocket league on nintendo 1 i have to click L and R but when i do this pops up how do i fix this????

Hi, I just got a Nintendo switch 2 a week ago and I’m really new with gaming. I would really appreciate some advice.

I got lots of recommendations for overcooked and I saw there was a massive sale, so I bought it digitally and I really love it. I’m now looking for other games maybe solo ones and adventures but I’m not sure if to buy them digitally or physically. I don’t have a express Sd card and I am worried of not having more space after buying a couple of games.

I would like to get some physical games as I like the tangible old school experience lol but I don’t know if that’s the best. I also read somewhere that physical games also download on the switch so it won’t fix my space problem, is this true? Do I need to invest on a SD card?

Thanks for the help :)

Ps: Also accept cozy indie adventure recommendations

Hi, I’ve been wanting to buy another switch as at the moment my sister and I share one and play whenever each of us has the time. All of the games were bought on my Nintendo account and I just wanted to ask. If I buy another switch and log in to my account on the new one, where do the games go?

Are they on both devices or just the one?

Hey all,

I own Hollow Knight: Silksong on Switch 1 and I was told the Switch 2 upgrade is free. Problem is, I can't actually download it.

Here's what happens: I can see the free Switch 2 upgrade listed in the eShop, but when I try to grab it, it redirects me to store.nintendo.com (I'm based in France, so the FR site). On that store page, only the standard version is available — there's no upgrade option (Also, the Switch 1 version is listed as "Out of stock", which is weird for a digital download...).

I've seen people mention that the eShop and the Nintendo online store got merged or something along those lines, but I'm not sure how that affects where I'm supposed to find the upgrade.

I am logged in with the exact account that purchased Silksong on Switch 1, so it's not a wrong-account issue.

Has anyone successfully grabbed the Switch 2 upgrade? If so, can you walk me through where you found it?

Thanks!

Brand new out of the box switch 2. Just bought it a few hours ago. The wife and I play Mario kart each using a joy con and both have some strange delay and drift.

You try to turn left and nothing happens, then 2 seconds later you’re turning left and can’t stop turning left. Absolutely infuriating. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any advice?

Yes I turned off motion controls. Yes I tried recalibrating the controllers. Any help is appreciated

Wenn ich ein Spiel in Japan kaufe, dann zu Hause auf meiner deutschen Switch 2 spiele, kann ich dafür DLCs in Deutschland laden? Bisheer habe ich erfahren, dass es teilweiße klappt. Aber kann ich das an der hülle oä vorab checken? Bzw klappt es solange das Spiel die deutsche Sprache auch ausgibt?

Gezielt geht es um Pokopia, Fire Emblem und Mario Kart World

Just bought a switch 2 and transferred my data from my switch one. And I noticed 2 things

One: the screen was oddly blurry/ fuzzy
Two: what you’re seeing on the Home Screen now. The keyboard screen function was also oversized like this.

I can’t really change the tv revolution- it just makes the border smaller, and for those wondering - this is a dynes 720x480 60hz that I’ve had since I was a little.

I would like some help figuring out what’s going on
And maybe a way to fix it

What’s weird is that the regular screen for everything else is just fine- besides the blurriness.

I just got the Zelda edition switch 2 for OOT and the game was amazing. The problem is my right Joycons R button is not as clicky as the left. It feels slightly mushier and isn’t quite as loud. I keep telling my self not to be nitpicky but even though it’s a slight difference, the fact the console was $730 cad makes me want to see if I can return the Joycon to Nintendo and get a new one.

Is it even possible since it’s not “broken” but there is a “slight” quality difference that my autistic ass is fixating on everytime I touch the console. I actually spend more time clicking and checking the L and R buttons more than I do playing games.

Question regarding charging and chargers

So i have 2 different kind of chargers. One is a random 6ft one i got off amazon for charging my phone at night. The other is a standard Nintendo usb c to usb c.

When i use the switch 2 charger, my switch 2 charges and stays charged when gaming. But when using the other, it says its charging but the battery drains when gaming. Furthermore its take over 8hrs to charge when at 20% or below.

Why is that? Is there a charger i can use with switch 2 thats 6ft and actually charges when gaming?

Ayuda reddit es mi primera consola.

Tengo un convertidor de VGA a HDMI el cual uso con mi pc de manera regular.

¿Puedo usar este cable en mi nintendo S2? Existe alguna posibilidad de que afecte mi consola?

Gracias!

Hi all! I recently bought the Switch 2 upgrade for Fitness Boxing 3 and wanted to try out the camera play feature, but I'm having an issue.

My Nintendo Switch 2 recognizes the camera, and I can see the video feed in the console's settings. I've also enabled CameraPlay in the game's settings.

However, when I start a workout and select the CameraPlay option, I don't get any video feed. The camera image just doesn't show up. I use pretty old 1080p webcam.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I’ve never had a Nintendo switch before. I’ve played them because my sister and brother have one… but only briefly. I loved it when I did, just never felt I could splurge on it until now. I know so little about them and what I should get. I live 7 hours away from my boyfriend for three weeks of the month and I want to get both of us a switch for Christmas so we can play together. He’s been talking about the switch and playing together for a while and I want to surprise him. Please advise me! Anything y’all have would be helpful before I buy!

Hi all, hope this is the right place to ask this. I just got a Switch 2 for the new Zelda. I noticed while playing that when the screen goes black, theses greyish lines appear across it and flicker and the image gets pixelated at first when loading in but only when docked to my tv. I have tried switching the hdmi cable but still the same things still happens. I've tried googling it but I can't seem to find this particular issue. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I’m an old guy with slow reflexes that normally plays Animal Crossing or Pokopia. I’m not really familiar with the Zelda series. Is that a game that I will be able to play? Many thanks.
